FORT WORTH, Texas – A restaurant worker who was injured in a blast at a Fort Worth hotel is suing, claiming that a gas smell was reported 90 minutes before the explosion. The incident occurred at the TownePlace Suites by Marriott hotel last year.
The worker, who was employed at the restaurant adjacent to the hotel, suffered severe injuries in the explosion. The lawsuit alleges that multiple employees reported a strong smell of gas to the hotel management at least an hour and a half before the blast occurred.
The explosion caused significant damage to the hotel and surrounding businesses. The fire department received multiple calls about the smell of gas prior to the explosion, prompting an investigation into the cause of the blast.

The hotel has not responded publicly to the lawsuit. However, the case highlights the importance of promptly addressing safety concerns in commercial properties to prevent accidents and injuries.
